Three debutant clubs enjoyed nights to remember on Tuesday as the 2018 AFC Champions League gathered momentum with the completion of the second Preliminary Round.

A total of 21 goals lit up the four single-tie matches, but undoubtedly the result that will live longest in the memory was the victory by Philippines champions Ceres Negros over two-time Australian A-League winners Brisbane Roar.

The Filipinos came from a goal down to take a second half lead before running out deserved 3-2 victors in Brisbane, with Omid Nazari scoring what proved to be the winner 15 minutes from full time.

Just seven days earlier, Ceres Negros, who are still in pre-season, struggled to overcome Myanmar’s Shan United on penalties in their competition bow.

But the Roar had no answer despite the presence of four former Australian internationals and veteran Italian striker Massimo Maccarone.
